Hunter Ramos, a freshman star for LSSU whose father serves in the armed forces said, "It's important that we honor all the men and women who have fought for us. It's also important that we show them support and love, and that we are in their corner even when they are thousands of miles away. My father serves in the military and his discipline to always do the right thing inspires me."
